Elvyra Gruzdevienė, Zofija Jankauskienė

Abstract

The study was designed to investigate linseed cultivation without using chemical fertilizer and plant protection measures. We study the influence of the anthropogenic and agrotechnical factors on the linseed yield. We also tried to compare the crop productivity cultivating linseed in intensive technology and in organic farm. These investigations are new in Lithuania because beforehand linseed was grown on usual technology farms. It is still not as popular in Europe.
